Bah, I see them all the time, along with kangaroos & drop bears :icon_mrgreen:
I guess the most unexpected thing I ever saw while riding came as a took a sharp turn on a backroad that wound through a farm. I got a great posterior view of the largest pig I have ever seen.... humping the second largest pig I have ever seen on the side of the road :o That had to be at least a combined total of 500 lbs of bacon jiggling right next to me. If I had hit them I think I may have even topped Kerry's famous collision story.
One morning riding home from work at about 5:45am I saw a guy pull over and pick up a hooker. I also saw two horses engaged in reproduction.
A small block ford sitting in the middle of I-10, the ford truck was in the bar ditch with it's back axle dragging behind it. :o
I win this one.....
While riding some twisties in sheep country...I saw a man...easily 300 pounds...bald and hairy....on roller blades...wearing only a bright orange speedo.... :o :o throwing up in a full face...bad idea!

it would be like you seeing a raccoon interesting, but doesn't belong where you live
uh, WTF is a drop bear?
A drop bear is a koala. They like to drop out of trees and use their 3-inch fangs and 6-inch claws to chew your scalp off and gouge out your eyes. Or, at least, that's what the Aussies tell the tourists. :)
I saw a sign that said, "Dry Creek Water Park." Suggestion: don't jump off of the high-dive.

Do you ever see any dingos?????
Nah no Dingoes around here, they prefer areas that have tourists with babies. :icon_twisted: I do know someone with a Dingo as a pet instead of having a dog.
There are some wombats around, does that help :dunno_white:
Well i really love dingos.

I guess the hooker was working some overtime into the morning hours. :laugh: :laugh:

Drop bears are like a cross between a Grizzly Bear & a Koala, thats meaner than a Woman with PMS.

Yeah i was pretty shocked!!!!!
I passed a dairy barn going the other way once on a local 2-laner. Yes, a complete dairy barn. Like this one, but red:

As soon as I passed him the 5th wheel came unlatched and he went straight down an embankment with the barn close on his tail. :laugh:
Oh, and a complete household set up on the side of the road, including fridge and TV plus carpet. (Pandy might have seen this, it was in San Jose this summer)

Well, one morning, I got up for work at 8AM, worked until 10PM, and got on the road from Atlanta, GA to Naples, FL.... About 15 miles outside of Naples, by the exit for the local community college, I saw a white male, approximately 20-25 years of age, completely naked, kneeling on the shoulder of the road... uhh.. pleasuring himself.... It scared the piss out of me (I was SUPER tired).. then I laughed so hard that I almost cried..

You win lol lol lol lol

I was waiting at an intersection and just before a semi crossed by, he nuked his engine. Left an oil film on my windshield. Rod caps and cam followers scattered over a hundred yards. Usually when you frag an engine from the crank and rods, you don't blow out the valve train. Looked like Cummins 855 cam followers.

Waiting at a stoplight in Portland, an old Chevy truck on the opposite side suddenly burst into flames. It musta been hot b/c by the time the light turned green for me the front tires were melted.
Around Christmas time a few years back I saw a flat bed 18 wheeler hauling a plastic tricycle. I wish I had a camera for that one. On a ride in the canyons I saw a deer that looked like it had a run in with a chupacabra. It's inards were spewed out onto the road almost perfectly intact.

i saw a dingo today at work :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I havn't seen anything to out of the norm. The on;y thing that pops in my head right now is when i was in college on m way to visit some friends at home a semi driving up 81 had a blowout right next to a dude, with GF/Wife, in a Porche 911. It scared him and he jerked the wheel away, right into the gaurd rail. I stoped to make sure everyone was alright and got the license plates of the semi and gave it to them and waited for the cops. I knew it wasn't the semi's fault but just covered the bases. Everyone was alright and i contunued on my way home.
I was taking a back road through Neerim East on my way to Noojee when I came over a crest and came across a steam traction engine turning off the road into a drive way. There were two guys in the cab so the standing one might have been instructing the driver. They waited for me to pass. I love steam powered machinery so I stopped up the road to watch him. He tooted his whistle and I tooted my horn back. Great country ride and surprise sights! :thumb:
9 year necro! That's gotta be a record!
Well, anyway. Now that the topic is back up, weirdest thing I ever saw while riding was a big-ass hawk or eagle or something that flew right over my head. It was so quick I didn't see what it was, but it was so close and so big over my head it made me almost run my bike off the road! I spun around to see like a 5 foot wingspan just dip over the treeline.
Reading the last few of the old comments, I've seen similar to the exhibitionist. ..
Beside a freeway, about 4 in the afternoon. .. car with bonnet open and much steam/smoke? (But no fire) .. peak hour crawling traffic, bloke must have got sick of trying to get someone to stop and help....
So he faced the traffic and whipped it out and started going for it! ... I was still 200m before him and had been considering stopping. ... but well. .. someone angry/unstable enough to do that? .. just cruised on by! .. sirens could be heard in the distance a short time later!
Saw this guy the other day!

But, my worst experience was riding along a curvy road saw some vultures was really hoping they heard my bike and would move. Right as I got there they scattered unfortunately one dropped a piece of road kill and it hit me in the face (Thank God for Full-Face helmets). Must of had some bone in it because it did a number to my visor. But, the smell was so bad I had to pull over and throw up!

^That sucks^
Was driving along a curvy road one time and saw the Oscar Meyer Weiner Mobile parked in a small gravel pull off. I didn't realize they actually drove the thing around. It's big.
I have only been riding for about 5 months now, so I haven't seen too much.
The funniest thing I've seen was a redneck.
Riding along a long straight I got behind this slow poke going 30 in a 55. I down shifted to third and Ele starts screaming, as I go to pass this car, I notice this red neck who was checking his mail on the side the road. When he heard us coming he pointed at me, did a little hop, clicked his heels, then did one of those loud whistles people can do with their fingers and pointed me down the road in the most dramatic fashion I've ever seen.
Made my day.
:D :D :bowdown: that's awesome! ^

I saw someone's car explode...kind of.
I was at a gas station and putting on my helmet when I saw an early 90's Civic pull up to the pump. From where I was standing, I could see fire "dripping" onto the ground; either there was a small fuel leak or something plastic was on fire and dripping down. Either way, I went over to him and said "Hey! Your car is on fire!". Well, apparently the guy didn't speak any English at all. He looked Hispanic so I pointed under the car and yelled "FUEGO!". He immediately figured out what I was saying and jumped back into his car to move it away from the pump.
It's a good thing he moved the car, because only moments after he got back out, it erupted into 6-8 foot flames. It was pretty f'kin intense.

Oh sheesh ... please tell me you shot it and took it home to make delicious alligator steak ...
Even now my son will squeal with delight if you suggest it.
He publicly declared wanting to eat alligator cos the food at his uncle's wedding was not great ... in the center of a 1000 vegetarians in a religious setting ... thank god 1/2 of them didn't understand his language and accent, the other 1/2 didn't think people eat alligator and the third 1/2 thinks the child is basically god. His grandparents worship him so anything will fly ...
Cool.
Buddha.
I got off my bike today and found this wasp sitting next to my man parts :icon_eek: :o
[attachment deleted by admin]
That is a European Wasp. ... the ones that get into fizzy drink cans and get partly swallowed and sting in the mouth/neck!
... lucky she didn't zap you in the leg/crotch!... or it woulda been very painful!...
Lots more people have allergic reaction to these beasties than bees!
